I need some help. One of the bikes i own here in India is a 1975 Yamaha RD350B (sold in India in 1985 through a local tie-up).
Original parts for these are extremely difficult to come by, here in India, and I am therefore looking to do the following:
(a) buy a good condition specimen in the US / UK
(b) strip it down to parts
(c) ship the parts in lots to India
Rationale for doing (b) and (c) is that Indian import laws do not allow import of a used / old bike and I will therefore be bringing this down and using as parts for replacement on my current RD. This is what i really need help with.
I can arrange for payment to the seller but need to know if any of you know a workshop which will hold the bike for me for say 2-3 months while also stripping it down to parts and packaging the respective lots. I will arrange for a shipper to pick up the packages, if needed.
Still trying to figure out whether the economics will work at all; so any help in this direction will be much appreciated.
